1977 NHRA Records

It looks like the last 2 sheets are Super-Stock Manual car and Stock-Class automatic?

Under what I think is SS/C=7.00 (the classes got cut off that page) it says 64 Fairlane (at 132.35mph), it looks like the Thunderbolts had returned by then?

I forgot how many SS/ classes there were by then but sure it a lot of cars on that page. I don't have a 1977 rule book so just guessing.

The last page shows a 72 Comet under X/SA=23.00 class. That specs out to a 200i6-1bbl Comet with 91 net HP. Was NHRA actually mixing GROSS hp (1955-1971) with NET hp (1972-up) in those days? That would make for some funny factoring.

EDIT: Tom thanks for the Comet picture and posting SS/AA-SS/UA also. The classes are still cut off the1st page but easy to figure out, they're just SS/A-SS/U stick classes. Makes sense.
